This is a bit odd.
On my own system:
$ dpkg --contents
../xen-utils-common_4.8.3+comet2+shim4.10.0+comet3-1+deb9u4_all.deb |grep
README.comet
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2896 2018-02-07 16:56
./usr/share/doc/xen-utils-common/README.comet
But the file being distributed by Debian is different.

This was a mistake. I wasn't thinking clearly.
I think the file being distributed by Debian must have been built on
ARM.
Anyway, thanks for the report and I think you have indeed pointed to
the correct fix.
Ian.
